Switch to AT&T Or Die In a Fiery Explosion!

So, here I am watching a bit of the Giants/Cardinals game and on comes the latest in a series of AT&T mobile ads that demonstrates the consequences of not using AT&T wireless.

In one, a guy misses out on concert tickets because he doesn’t get service in a bar.  In another, a guy is stuck with two techno-ravers in a crappy youth hostel because his phone doesn’t work in a foreign country.  Inconvenient?  Sure.  Maybe even unfortunate.

But I guess it wasn’t convincing enough.

Now comes their latest ad, in which a local news reporter is BLOWN UP AND KILLED due to his use of an inferior wireless service!  Oh, and his cameraperson dies, too, just for good measure.

I can’t wait to see what they do when this doesn’t move the dial.

  I just saw this ad on http://www.hulu.com and jumped online to complain to AT&T. I’ve never complained about an ad in my life, but went this country is dealing with terrorist and my kid is watching tv and sees this it made me mad. But I couldn’t find a way to email them a complaint without clinking on a reset list of complaints about my service… which I don’t have. Is there an HR I can contact? Do you know?
